My wife got her F60 in March of 2017. It should be noted there her prior car was a Nissan minivan, so you can imagine her jubilation in owning something a little smaller and sportier.. I was a little hesitant in pulling the trigger as I was not completely sold on Mini reliability. ..but being the smart husband, I let my wife get what she wanted. She absolutely loves the car despite having a few hiccups requiring the dealers attention. We've already done a sizeable road trip ( from So Cal to San Antonio, TX) and it was surprisingly comfortable. Her only regret was not getting the "S" model.. Next time..

Here is a pic from the day we purchased it (no, we did not lease).

 

Thats a really nice looking countryman. I adore that pastel-grey color.

 

Welcome to the forum. When will you be buying a MINI for yourself. To average things out, perhaps you should get the JCW.

 

That is an excellent idea! Only I know how the story would end... l'd end up with her car while she'd be scooting around im my JCW!

The dealer has been awfully "nice" to loan us 'S' models ( I bet these guys deal crack on the side). The fun factor increases exponentially with an "S". She's already talking about her next Mini..

 

Hi and congrats to you and the wife!
I think you should be looking at a gen 1 Mini Cooper S, as you will soon want your own!

 

Welcome, thats one of my favorite colors in the newest CM.
